Sail Sunset Terms and Conditions

Sail Sunset is owned and operated by Tribeca Sailing Experiences LLC. As used in these Terms and Conditions, "we," "us," and "our" refer to Tribeca Sailing Experiences LLC and its vessel Sunset. By completing your booking, you agree to all of the terms below.

Weather Policy

We understand that no one wishes to sail in dangerous weather. The Captain of the vessel has sole discretion to cancel a charter due to inclement weather. Examples of inclement weather include thunderstorms, lightning, excessive or dangerous winds, and sustained heavy rain.

Sunset sails rain or shine. Most of our guests have a wonderful time even when conditions are not perfect, and your charter will proceed in light rain, cloudy skies, warm or cold temperatures, humidity, and small craft advisories. In some cases, we may delay your departure by up to one hour to allow a weather system to pass. Sailing in imperfect weather is part of the experience.

We track and monitor conditions hourly and will make every effort to contact you approximately two hours before your scheduled start time if inclement weather is expected to affect your charter. Conditions can change suddenly and may result in last-minute cancellations. Please plan on arriving on time for your scheduled sail even if the forecast calls for rain. Weather forecasts are frequently inaccurate, and we ask for your patience with them. Charters will not be rescheduled based on weather forecasts of any kind.

Booking, Cancellation, and Reschedule Policy

All bookings are final, and all charter fees are non-refundable, except as expressly provided in this section.

Optional 48-Hour Cancellation Protection. At the time of booking, you may add 48-Hour Cancellation Protection for an additional 20% of your charter fee. This 20% fee is non-refundable. With this protection, you may cancel your charter by telephone or email no later than 48 hours before your scheduled start time and receive a refund of your charter fee. The 20% protection fee is retained in all cases.

Guests who do not purchase 48-Hour Cancellation Protection, guests who cancel within 48 hours of the scheduled start time, and guests who do not appear for their charter (no-shows) are not eligible for any refund and will be charged the full charter price. We encourage all guests to review the trip cancellation and travel protection benefits offered by their credit card company or travel insurer, which may provide reimbursement for circumstances beyond your control.

Operator Cancellation

For safety reasons, Tribeca Sailing Experiences LLC reserves the right to cancel your charter at any time due to severe weather conditions or mechanical failure. Severe weather is determined solely by the Captain of the vessel. If we cancel your charter for one of these reasons, your sail may be rescheduled at no additional charge to a mutually available date, or you may elect to receive a charter credit valid through the end of the current sailing season. This is the sole remedy for an operator cancellation.

Substance Abuse

The use of illegal substances is forbidden on board the vessel, as is underage use of alcohol and tobacco. Violating this rule will terminate the charter, and there will be no refund.

Risks

By chartering a sail, you acknowledge that at marinas and aboard sailboats, there is an inherent risk of personal injury or accident. You agree to release and hold harmless Tribeca Sailing Experiences LLC and Breton Yacht Company, LLC, their owners, and their employees (the "Released Parties") from liability and responsibility for personal injury, property damage, or wrongful death, however caused, including but not limited to product defect or the negligence of the Released Parties.

You have discussed the risks with your invitees, and they agree to release and hold harmless the Released Parties in the same manner stated above. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you agree to hold harmless and indemnify the Released Parties from any claims brought by your invitees.

Medical

If medical treatment is necessary for you or your invitees, you will be fully responsible for paying such expenses. Authority without limitation is granted to the Released Parties and their assigns in all medical matters to hospitalize and treat you and your invitees.

Disputes

All disputes shall be governed by Federal Maritime Law. In any action against any of the Released Parties that results in a decision, judgment, decree, order, stipulation, or settlement that substantially upholds the Released Parties' position, the adversary party shall reimburse the Released Parties' attorney's fees, court costs, and expenses.

By completing your booking, you acknowledge and agree to these Terms and Conditions.
